04-03-1984 Regular MeetingCITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION April 3, 1984 This meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3, 1984 in the City Council Chambers. Commission members in attendance were: Henry Czech, Adelbert Evans, Jack Sargent, James Shepherd and Nick Jones. Debbie Gaines arrived at 8:30. Absent: Marie McKinney, Pat Parker and Bob Thompson. MINUTES of the meeting held March 6, 1984 were approved as presented. • CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Mr. Sargent explained that Mr. Andrew Morris had requested a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to enclose a screened porch recently added to his nonconforming duplex residence in the R-1-A Single Family Residential zone at 610 West Lakeshore Drive. The City Manager reported that Mr. Morris had been granted a CUP in April of 1983 for the addition of a screened porch, a storage room and a carport. At this time he is asking to enclose the screened porch granted by that CUP. A letter from Merle Bright, a neighboring property owner, was read in suuport of the request. Mr. Trent Lane, the tenant in Mr. Morris' house, spoke on behalf of Mr. Morris stating that wind off the lake blows rain into the porch and that installing windows would improve the situation. Discussion concerned the fact that the other CUP had been obtained after work was begun and that expansion of nonconforming uses should not be encouraged. Mr. Morris has also stated that he intends to convert the dwelling to single-family use in the future. A motion was made by Mr. Shepherd, seconded by Mr. Jones, and defeated by a three to two vote to recommend approval of this request. The vote was as follows: Aye; Czech and Shepherd, and Nay; Evans, Jones and Sargent. Mr. Evans asked if another motion was in order to deny the request, and the consensus was that such a motion was unnecessary. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. Mr. Sargent explained that Mr. William Favuzza of Extra-Tech Properties had returned with a new site plan showing 34 townhouse units to be built on Blocks 19 and 20 at the eastern end of Crystal Lake. The City Manager read the list of items the Planning and Zoning Com- mission had recommended at the October meeting for the developer to consider in revising the site plan. (See minutes of meeting held October 4, 1983.) A letter from the City Engineer was read. In this letter it was stated that the topography of this site should be care- fully considered in establishing roadway and drainage patterns. Mr. Favuzza and Mr. Zahradnik (his architect) urged the Commission to • make a decision in the matter. Mr. Zahradnik stated that all engineer- ing requirements of all governmental entities would be met. He also indicated that the project may be built in phases. He was told that the infrastructure for the entire project would probably be required initially. Mr. Zahradnik then protested the City's recommendation for the entrance location. A discussion followed, prompted by questions from concerned citizens, regarding landscaping, price of the proposed units, lot coverage and the use of motorized boats on the lake. Citizens who spoke were: CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES Page two May Neilsen, Chris Giachetti, Ratherine Black, R.G. Golby, Maurice Case and Claude Smoak. Further discussion among Commission members concerned environmental considerations, the recommendation by the City Engineer that roadways follow contour lines wherever possible, and onsite retention of storm water, as well as ingress and egress routes.
